Imagine Mad Men without Jon Hamm’s brooding Don Draper—impossible, right? Well, it nearly happened. And oddly enough, his devastatingly good looks were the problem. Studio execs fretted that Hamm might be too handsome for viewers to buy him as the complex, troubled ad man, fearing his charm could overshadow the gritty 1960s narrative.

As if that weren’t enough, The Sopranos icon James Gandolfini almost sealed the show’s fate before it aired, as his powerhouse performance left everyone questioning if another morally gray lead could ever work. The combo of Hamm’s looks and Gandolfini’s shadow nearly killed the series, but luckily, Mad Men managed to break through—proving that charm, danger, and a killer suit could redefine TV drama.

Jon Hamm’s career was on the verge of stalling before Mad Men came into the picture. But one simple rule from the show’s creator flipped the script for him. Hamm had been hustling for years, taking on smaller roles, but nothing seemed to stick. That was until the Mad Men creator laid down a game-changing condition.

That not only gave Hamm the role of Don Draper but also launched him into Hollywood stardom. Looking back, it’s clear Hamm owes a lot to that one decision—it saved his career and made him a household name.

"Mad Men" has often sparked positive headlines for its compelling, often-inspiring storylines around its female characters like Peggy (Elisabeth Moss) and Joan (Christina Hendricks), but it's never gotten the same praise for the handling of its queer characters. There's a good reason for that: although characters like Sal (Bryan Batt) and Bob Benson (James Wolk) are interesting and well-written, their stories are pretty depressing. Bob never finds love over the course of the series, and Joan's lesbian friend in season 1 has her attempt to come out of the closet politely declined.
The only happy queer characters throughout the series are Kurt (Edin Gali), a minor European character who gives Peggy a cool haircut, and Joyce (Zosia Mamet), Peggy's openly lesbian friend in season 4 -- but both of these characters play minor roles. The most prominent gay character in "Mad Men" is Salvatore Romano, and things don't go well for him.

Mad Men has a reputation for being a masterpiece. Its good traits lie in several parts of its production, ranging from the excellent acting of every single cast member to the direction and even how accurate it manages to be when it comes to the time period it’s set in. However critically acclaimed this series is, there is no denying that some moments get quite bizarre.

One of the first characters that comes to mind when it comes to peculiarity has to be Ben Feldman’s Michael Ginsberg. The character was certainly one of the most unhinged parts of the series, with his bloody confessions of love and his dramatic exits on hospital equipment.

Acclaimed actress Leighton Meester has joined the cast of the Apple TV+ period drama “The Buccaneers” for its upcoming second season. Meester, best known for playing Blair Waldorf on the hit series “Gossip Girl”, was spotted on the show’s set in Scotland as filming nears completion.

Christina Hendricks had several years of stage experience before she landed her breakout role in Mad Men. She brought Joan Harris to life and also bagged several high-profile awards for the same. While her acting on the show was remarkable, it also brought a deeper issue of Hollywood’s long-standing exploitation of female actors.

There is a reason why AMC’s Mad Men was one of the most successful drama series. It ran for seven seasons from 2007 to 2015 and maintained positive critical ratings throughout its tenure. In fact, the show could have gone on forever because the demand for it was so high, but series creator Matthew Weiner felt it was time to conclude the story.

Apart from the stunning set designs, gorgeous wardrobes, and stellar cast, it was the narrative and the characters’ depth which kept viewers hooked, especially the relationships of the lead roles.

Mad Men became one of the most critically acclaimed shows during its seven-season run on AMC. Created by Matthew Weiner, the series revolved around Don Draper, an advertising executive at Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency. The series also features Christina Hendricks as Joan Holloway, the office manager at the agency with ambitious career plans who slowly climbs up the corporate ladder.

During an interview, Weiner revealed that the original plans for the character were much different as she was only meant to play a small part. However, the showrunner admitted that Hendricks’ casting in the role led him to realize that the character could have a more significant role in the story and later played a part in exploring some complex ideas. Here is what Weiner had originally planned for Hendricks’ character and why he changed it.

Christina Hendricks is inevitably one of the most acclaimed actresses today, with her charismatic personality and truly remarkable acting prowess proving she’s worthy of every single ounce of the commendation she gets. Launched to extraordinary success with her breakthrough role in Mad Men, she has since scored quite a few credits to her name in some critically praised projects.

And yet, while the Jon Hamm-led series gave her the fame and boost she needed to lead a successful career, it also brought a lot of negative attention towards her and her female co-stars. To say the least, the series had people once again objectifying women’s bodies all the while proving that women still had to endure the same thing that was perfectly depicted in the TV series.

Ever thought about betting the farm on a hunch and coming out smelling like roses? That’s exactly what Christina Hendricks did when she hitched her wagon to the ’60s-era drama Mad Men. Well, fortune favors the bold! And, this actress owned that phrase like a boss.
When she first laid eyes on Matthew Weiner’s script, she couldn’t resist the allure of becoming Joan Holloway, the sharp-witted and glamorous secretary who would become a pivotal character in this iconic series.

But, curveball ahead! While her excitement was through the roof, her agency was singing a different tune. Instead of backing her enthusiasm, they were playing it safe and raising eyebrows. Just imagine if she had walked away from that script—we would have missed out on a career spectacle for the ages!

With most big TV shows, there's usually at least one ironic example of an actor who auditioned for a totally different role than what they got. Jeremy Strong initially tried out for the role of Roman Roy on "Succession," for instance, and Christina Hendricks from "Mad Men" originally auditioned for the role of Peggy, then Midge, before landing on Joan. A similar situation happened on "The Boys" for Black Noir's actor Nathan Mitchell. Before being cast as the mysterious, silent, always-masked Black Noir, he tried out for the Deep. As Mitchell explained to The Hollywood Reporter:
"I thought, 'It would really be cool if I got to do this show. But this probably isn't going to happen, whatever.' I sent [an audition tape] in and didn't hear anything back. Then I went on vacation with my family. Even though it was a great time, I couldn't shake the feeling that I...

Directed by Greg Berlanti, this charming romantic comedy-drama set against the thrilling backdrop of the 1960s Space Race stars Scarlett Johansson, Channing Tatum and Woody Harrelson.
The film centres on the unexpected romance between Kelly Jones (Johansson doing her best impression of Christina Hendricks as Joan Harris in Mad Men), an advertising specialist brought in to improve NASA’s public image, and the handsome, yet taciturn Cole Davis (Tatum), the NASA director responsible for the Apollo 11 launch.
Channelling classic ’60s romcoms like Pillow Talk and A Touch of Mink, the film follows Kelly and Cole as they clash over how to “sell” the moon-landing to a Vietnam war-weary American public. But as they start to fall for one another, their already shaky relationship is thrown into deeper turmoil when Kelly is ordered by Harrelson’s enigmatic secret service boss Moe Berkus, to orchestrate and then film a fake moon landing,...

Hannah Einbinder and Chloe Fineman have come a long way since they became friends eight years ago during an open mic night at a wine bar in Glendale. Einbinder, the daughter of original “Saturday Night Live” cast member Laraine Newman, now trades wits with Jean Smart on Max’s “Hacks,” while Fineman took her outlandish celebrity impressions from Instagram to NBC’s “SNL.” Here, the two discuss how “Hacks” deals with aging in a scene where Smart’s character, Deborah, takes a bad fall, how Fineman’s Melania Trump impression got her cast in “Megalopolis” and what it means that comedy is “dying.”
Hannah Einbinder: The first time I saw you, I was like, “Well, she will be on ‘Saturday Night Live,’ of course.”

Hi. Yes. Sorry to bother you. Hello. Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior, Deborah Vance? The Emmy award-winning series "Hacks" has just finished its phenomenal third season, one that many fans (myself included) were terrified wouldn't be able to match the triumphant heights of season 2. The second season ended in a way that felt complete if Max were to have pulled the plug on the show, but after the absolutely dynamite season 3 finale, "Hacks" has proven itself as a series that can and should continue as long as stars Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder want to keep playing Deborah Vance and Ava Daniels, respectively.
It's exciting as a "Hacks" fan from the very start to see so many people finally catching onto what is arguably the best comedy show on TV that isn't "Abbott Elementary" or the not-really-a-comedy brilliance that is "The Bear," especially...

After beaching off Ken in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and highlighting the hard work of stunt performers in David Leitch’s The Fall Guy, Sony is capitalizing on the “Gosling-ssance” with the release of his 2011 thriller Drive on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray. The brutal film from Nicolas Winding Refn drips with style, presents Gosling in one of his most iconic roles, and is due for a comeback in crisp, clean, high definition.
Here’s Sony‘s official synopsis for Drive:
Ryan Gosling stars as a Hollywood stunt driver for movies by day and moonlights as a wheelman for criminals by night. Though a loner by nature, “Driver” can’t help falling in love with his beautiful neighbor Irene (Carey Mulligan), a young mother dragged into a dangerous underworld by the return of her ex-convict husband. After a heist goes wrong, Driver finds himself driving defense for the girl he loves,...

The three creators and showrunners of Hacks are as concerned with amusing lead Jean Smart as they are with entertaining their audience. Storylines, set pieces and even guest stars are often engineered just to get a reaction from the venerable actress, who has now won two Emmys — she has five in total — for portraying veteran stand-up Deborah Vance on the Max original comedy.
“We try and do it in every episode, give her things that are really juicy,” says Paul W. Downs, the co-creator who also plays Deborah’s manager, Jimmy. “For us, when Jean comes to set and says, ‘I can’t wait to shoot the scene today,’ that’s the goal.”
Hacks’ third season, which premiered May 2 and drops episodes in pairs until the May 30 finale, easily delivers on unexpected scenarios for its characters and viewers. Smart and co-star Hannah Einbinder — who plays Deborah’s Gen Z writing partner and occasional punching bag,...

Warning: The following contains major spoilers for The Strangers, The Strangers: Prey At Night, and The Strangers: Chapter One.
Nothing sparks fear in the opening moments of a horror film like the words “based on actual events.” Many horror fans find comfort in reminding ourselves that “it’s just a movie,” but this ominous disclaimer smashes the illusion. Bryan Bertino’s landmark home invasion film, The Strangers, begins with a similar assertion, setting the stage for a night of pure terror. Ominous text delivers upsetting statistics of random crime before introducing us to the film’s victims.
Renny Harlin’s 2024 prequel The Strangers: Chapter One begins with a similar warning, but ups the ante by calculating the number of violent crimes that have occurred since the opening frame. It’s the perfect way to introduce stories designed to upend our collective understanding of personal safety.
Both films follow a trio...

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers for the sixth episode of “Hacks” Season 3.
Season 3 of “Hacks” began with Ava (Hannah Einbinder) finally feeling happy in both her career and her love life, but of course, the stability didn’t last. After Ruby (Lorenza Izzo) dumps Ava for restarting her toxic working relationship with Deborah (Jean Smart), Ava badly needs a win, which she gets in the form of a hot, older rebound — until everything goes to shit yet again.
In Episode 6, “Par for the Course,” Ava accompanies Deborah to a golf tournament where they’ll schmooze with network bigwigs as they continue trying to land Deborah the late night hosting gig she’s coveted for decades. After Deborah points out that Ava isn’t as “of the people” as she thinks she is, never having worked a service industry job before, she agrees to act as Deborah’s caddy for the weekend.
